Does anyone know if it is possible to build a complete 50's or 60's
corvette clone from after-market parts? It seems like most every part
for the cars is available through some channel or the other. I would
like to build one that has a more modern drive train, body
(fiberglass?), suspension(newer corvette?), and interior(premium
leather, gauges,A/C). So if anyone can point me in the right direction
I would be grateful.

Yes, it's probably possible, but very expensive when you buy parts
piecemeal... think in terms of $70k to $100k plus. Here are some
websites as a starting point:

There is a '69 Camero Ragtop body/frame that you can now buy brand new.
All steel complete replica. With the '69 Camero Hardtop,
'70 Mustang and the '70 Cuda coming soon.

Sweeeeeet :-) In HotRod it stated that running complete out the door
around $40,000.
